This sound yummy! I love salmon. And this would go great this Sunday's dinner.

Sounds fabulous. Silly question maybe, but where are the "jewels"? I figured it might have capers or some other spice pinned to the salmon.


Good question. I wondered the same thing. I owuld have thought capers or pimentos.


Oh, hadn't thought about pimentos. Might be worth adding.


I love salmon and I'm always looking for a new way to fix it. Can't wait to try this.


The kosher salt you sprinkle on while cooking is the jewels :)

We made this last night. YUM! We will definitely be making this one again, simple yet yummy.

I did have one difference, rather than a thick fillet I had some thinner but wide fillets that I sliced about 2/3 of the way through down the middle so I could fold them over. Might be a bit easier than actually butterflying a thick fillet especially if you don't have a very sharp knife. It held together just fine all through the grilling. Because it was a bit thicker I had to grill more like 9 or 10 minutes on each side. It came out perfect though. Quite possible the best I've ever done grilling fish :) I uploaded a picture as this recipe didn't have one yet (and I was quite proud of it).


I don't have a grill, but I love salmon and cream cheese. This recipe sounds wonderful, wish I could try it. . . :-(

I know I would love this, thanks

Made this tonight: yummers! I'm not a cilantro fan at all, but it's delicate in this cream cheese sauce. Made it with trout and used low fat cream cheese. Thanks for posting this one!
